Motion Dynamics 3" Downpipe

[schlot]

Hey, I love the fact that Jim and guys at Motion Dynamics have come up with a downpipe that removes the cast elbow out of the T3 for us. Is there any dyno numbers on what this downpipe produces versus stock 2.25" exhaust and a 3" exhaust hanging off the stock T3 elbow? Looking at exhausts right now, but would like to see some numbers first.

This looks like an easy solution to simplify the whole down pipe situation. Instead of having to send out your elbow, have down time on your car, and then getting the whole thing back.

Little pricey for not being stainless steel. The flange is nice, but is is $300 nice??

Jim had dyno numbers, but the links don't work..it was on the old site. I can go by there and ask or something

I think so. For a true "no fabrication needed bolt on part", this it the only game in town. Otherwise you'd have to buy a slip-fit downpipe from Bob Lee for around a hundred bucks and also send your elbow in for modification for another hundred bucks. Then you'd have to assemble these to the turbo and have someone weld them (which isn't free either). With the MD part you pay an extra hundred up front but there is no screwing around, no core, and no third party welding. I don't know what the welding would cost but let's just say it's $50. I'd suggest that all the time you save on the installation by buying the MD part would be worth the $50.

I'm with Guy. You'd save a lot of faffing around and simply open the box and bolt on. I think I'd go with the exterior ceramic coat as this would solve the prob of it not being stainless.

I'd be interested in what a staniless option would cost though.

I have one, and have a bunch of pics and a product review to write, I've been too lazy, and busy the last few weeks to do it...

I love the thing. It's easy to put on (took much less than 30 mins to install)
seals up good, and don't hang too low.

It's a very nice piece.

Yea it looks great. defientely a nice piece for those who don;t have fabrication time or tools.

[SVOeric]

even if you do have the time/skills, it's not worth the trouble to remake the wheel.

A lot of stuff I see I think 'I could remake that better'

that's not the case with this one!

In true turbo ford mentality.

But hey it is done and he will sell them. If they were out before I did the stinger DP then I would have gone this rout regardless of the price.

Hats off Jim

Does anyone remember the dyno numbers?

Thanks

Having done the research and fab work, they probably needed them at that price to see a decent ROI, as well as fund (hopefully) new projects. I'm set to get one early next year (if one isn't under the tree this year), and will tie it to the really cool 3" mandrel exhaust system I got from Troy (silversvo). With that, I should be done with the exhaust.

Thanks, Jim and crew!

I wonder how closely this would mat with the Stinger 3". Anyone know?

Where/when do we see the product review?
